Census 2010 and LBJ is my hero

The Census is so important! I don't know why cable news is portraying it as a possible threat, but it's clear that recording demographics is an essential part of governing! How else would the government decide the distribution of tax revenue needed to build infrastructure? How would you like it if you lived in a major suburb, but no one knew to build any sort of mass transit to your location? Worse yet, people could be PROFITING from your plight? (THE OIL COMPANIES) The fact that you're forced to operate a car, wait in traffic, all the while burning more and more gasoline?

An ideal government should act for the right reasons, in expanding the opportunities of its citizens, and preventing abuse between its groups. Our government needs this information to provide you with more opportunities. Whether extending and upgrading the Bart train to save you money on commuting to work, or building that awesome high speed rail that could get me back down to socal much more conveniently and cheaply!
